Napoli’s shocking mistake in the last round breathed new life into Inter’s hopes of another Scudetto. With 2 games to go and just a 1-point gap, the title race is as close as it can get. But Lazio are fighting a battle of their own, namely securing a top 4 finish. With the point differences between teams placed 4th-9th, there could be a ton of surprises in the last 2 rounds of Serie A.
Inter Milan Team News
Inter were hoping that Napoli would make a mistake somewhere in their remaining Serie A fixtures, and their hopes came true, as Antonio Conte’s side drew 2-2 at home against Genoa, while Inter did their duty and snatched a win away to Torino. Now, with just 1 point separating the top 2 sides, it is as heated as it can be in Serie A’s title battle. The Nerazzurri have been in fine form as hosts in the league, with their only recent loss as hosts coming against Roma. That defeat is the only one across Inter’s last 10 home Serie A matches, with Simone Inzaghi’s team winning 8 in that sequence.
Lazio Team News
Lazio find themselves sitting 5th by virtue of a worse goal difference, as they have the same point tally as Juventus. The team’s UCL bid is very much alive, however, they must also be wary of the competition and by the very fact that teams placed 4th through 9th are placed very close to one another, and the gap between 4th-placed Juventus and 9th-placed Fiorentina is only 5 points. Lazio will head to San Siro in what could be described as good travelling form, with the team winning 3 consecutive Serie A matches on the road. What can also be pointed out is that Lazio managed to secure these wins with 3 clean sheets, pointing to a solid defensive unit.
Head-to-Head-Games
Inter have dominated the H2H with Lazio. The Nerazzurri have won 7 of their last 10 games against Lazio. The Biancocelesti have secured just 2 wins in this sequence and have also failed to win against Inter in any of their last 5 matches between them. Inter has already defeated Lazio twice this season – a 0-6 thrashing in the reverse fixture and a 2-0 win for the Coppa Italia.

Inter Milan – Lazio Betting Prediction
My pick here is for an Inter win. They are solid at home and received a dream surprise in the form of Napoli dropping points at home. The Scudetto is still a very real possibility for Inter, and I do not expect them to falter against a rather sturdy Lazio side. While Lazio have done very well recently, especially as guests, they have already lost to Inter twice this season. The Biancocelesti suffered a heavy loss in the reverse fixture and also lost here in the Coppa Italia. With how the title battle is going, I expect Inter to focus only on winning and keeping pressure on Napoli.
